I also had a couple of 20 gauge montifeltros in 20g and my Beretta 390 in 12 which has less recoil than a 20. They had plenty to choose from. For the 12 G SxS I reload 1oz loads with 17.5 grains of American Select. That’s a Flues safe load for my 12 and has pretty much no recoil. I’m not trying to kill them, just teach them and let them have fun.
